A Message from the President and Vice-Chancellor

Over my first year at HKU I have seen first-hand the hard work dedication and inspiration brought to our University by its members I am therefore delighted to be part of the annual awards ceremony where we celebrate outstanding work in teaching research and knowledge exchange

Undergraduate education at HKU has undergone fundamental changes in the last few years with the switch to four-year degrees and important curriculum reforms Our teachers have played a key role in ensuring the success of these developments We now have room to focus on our goal of not just educating students but cultivating local regional and global leaders We are also seeking to enhance our studentsrsquo learning experience through encouraging diversity both in the campus community and through opportunities for learning beyond the University and Hong Kong

HKU researchers continue to demonstrate excellence We consistently secure the highest allocation in the Research Grants Councilrsquos annual funding exercise and we lead more Theme-based Research Scheme and Areas of Excellence projects than any other institution Our Strategic Research Themes initiative now in its third cycle helps nurture interdisciplinary research In the recent Research Assessment Exercise 2014 over half of the research of our eligible staff was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent and these encouraging results can feed into our strategic planning

Knowledge exchange is an important way of achieving societal impact beyond academia The role of universities in bringing social economic environmental and cultural benefits to the community has seen increasing focus worldwide and at HKU emphasis is being placed on maximising the impact of our research through knowledge exchange as well as communicating and evaluating such impacts The number and quality of our knowledge exchange projects continue to grow with some outstanding examples being recognised through todayrsquos awards

My warmest congratulations go to all of our award winners Just as their success draws on the invaluable support from their colleagues students family and friends so does the University rsquos success depend on the contr ibutions of i ts members Working together we can further build on our excellent achievements and take HKU forward to the next stages of our development

lsquoScience and Art Crossover Project ndash Visualising Science via Creative Lens and Interactive Artrsquo

The general tendency to view science and art as two very different extremes prompted Dr Benny NG Lecturer and his team to develop a project to inspire young people to see science and art beyond the distinct and separate domains that they encounter at school They organised the Science and Art Crossover Project in 2013 and 2014 to promote that idea to students aged 12 to 15 Over 100 students from 48 schools participated in the one-day programme in 2014 and they were guided to visualise science in an artistic and interactive manner They also created artwork involving scientific principles which were then displayed in a six-month travelling exhibition that aimed to raise public awareness about science The project has changed the studentsrsquo perception in science vs art when asked before the programme whether they preferred science or art everyone chose one or the other However 42 per cent of the participants were interested in both subjects after the programme

Outstanding Teaching Award

Dr Michael George BOTELHO

Faculty of Dentistry 牙醫學院

My approach to teaching and learning has evolved since my first year at HKU after a Centre for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning orientation course in my first month and continues to this day I have 19 years teaching experience at HKU each one different each one

rewarding each one challenging which makes me realise I still have more to do and a lot more to learn Students change content changes expectations change pedagogy changes which means I need to change This change drives the search for improving the learning experience for our students

After initial challenging experiences in my first months I became aware monologues were monotonous potentially painful and humbling in the large classroom While monologues have a guarantee of information dissemination and coverage there is no guarantee of understanding learning interaction or analysis related to information passively presented and certainly no opportunity for active learning or student engagement

This has driven me to design active collaborative enquiry orientated modes of teaching and learning Dialogues not monologues are key not only between the teacher and students but most importantly between the students I now design all learning activities to involve student group interactions for an active and social learning experience that involves dialogue sharing and peer teaching

In addition I use technology to capture PowerPoint presentations learning feedback sessions clinical skills techniques and individual student learning queries and deposit these videos on Moodle for studentsrsquo asynchronous access on demand in their own environment when they are ready to consume Student access to this library of learning materials occurs not only during the course I am responsible for but long after when students are treating their own patients and at assessment times in the following year

This Award is shared with my students whom I recognise as partners in this journey of discovery They have gainful ly and col laborat ively participated in this two-sided learning experience and have tested me to strive for meaningful engaging and innovative learning experiences

STUDENTSrsquo WORDS Of APPRECIATION

Dr Botelho strikes me as someone with fantastic passion in teaching He gives me the impression that he is a type of educator who does not get complacent easily and evidently endeavours to seek avenues to improve himself in every aspect ndash I notice this from the fact that he is extremely keen on listening to feedback from the students

The course is designed to incorporate interactive learning with lots of QampA opportunities such that students have plenty of chances to clarify their doubts among small groups before being clarified together with the whole class This stimulated me to think more critically using my current knowledge and not to be simply spoon-fed with answers right from the beginning Upon the whole class discussion I learnt to point out my own weaknesses or misconceptions and rectify them I believe that the teaching method employed by him greatly helps me to retain the knowledge for a significantly longer period of time

Stephen SUTANTO BDS current student

Dr Botelho has put in great amount of effort to coordinate the fixed prosthodontics course In fact it has been one of the most organised courses throughout my five years of studies He provides structure and supporting information and is always approachable with questions to prevent students from struggling

A good feedback is more than just a grade Dr Botelho encourages two-way feedback and interaction He gives helpful feedbacks that are tailored towards onersquos individual piece of work and help to work towards improving our clinical skills and experience He also simulates interesting and engaging discussion in tutorials which inspires and motivates students to learn

Not only is he a good clinical tutor he is also a good personal tutor Apart from helping to fulfil the requirement of the course he also sees us make the most of our studies as an individual He understands our academic strengths and areas for improvement and offers advices to help us maximise our potentials

His excellence in teaching will impact and influence the professional lives of students long after graduation Dr Botelho is a great clinician and a truly devoted teacher

Teresa HO BDS 2014

42


Dr Botelho is a very devoted teacher who wears a friendly smile towards his students 24 hours a day He rarely refuses any question raised before him Instead of simply giving the answer right away he would often raise related questions to guide the students to the right track to enable them to reach the answers to their own questions It may not fit students who are so used to the spoon-feeding type of learning but indeed inspires many who are willing to learn Nevertheless they would usually be amazed by his sense of humour as a free gift

In addition to the approachability Dr Botelho is more famous for his nicely-cut teaching video clips online He is probably the pioneer in the Faculty who is so keen on utilising the multimedia platform for teaching Many students find his clips very helpful when they are reviewing the practical techniques on preparation of fixed prosthesis in particular and for sure especially on the nights right before practical exams

Dr Cheri CHAN Yu Yan

陳如茵博士 Faculty of Education 教育學院

Ifundamentally believe that education is the only viable way to redress some of the blatant inequalities that exist in our world today Each student is unique consequently there is no single teaching paradigm that will work everywhere My task as a teacher educator is to be a visionary an

innovator and to create a learning experience that is relevant meaningful and inspiring for our student-teachers I also believe that all students are capable of learning if their teacher can motivate them and treat them as individuals

My learning from the research that I have done in addressing inequalities in education has helped me to critically reflect on practice and more importantly enabled me to help student-teachers understand how they can make a difference by giving each learner the best possible chance to overcome the disadvantages and inequalities that they face Improving lives through education is what teaching should be all about

44



Dr Cheri Chan was very supportive throughout my two-year PGDE programme at the University of Hong Kong She is positive patient and approachable She always provided us constructive feedback (two stars and a wish) and her lessons were always inspiring I never felt bored in the class as her lessons were very interactive and hands-on She encouraged all of us to ask questions and present our ideas to class She used jigsaw grouping lots and it has given us chance to work with everyone in class which was fun and interesting She was a role model for us because she demonstrated what an engaging well-planned and motivating lesson would feel like She has definitely achieved lsquopractise what you preachrsquo in this course

SYPEL LEE Yee Wan PGDE 2014

For me one of the reasons that Dr Chanrsquos teaching style stood out amongst all the other teachers Irsquove ever known is that she managed to lead by example Many people would not believe this is possible when one is teaching experienced adult teachers how to teach Primary English A good example is the very first lesson when Dr Chan asked everyone to write their name on a piece of card A simple enough task However for our class that was the beginning of individual attention From that moment she tried her hardest to understand the needs and learning styles of each of her students Dr Chan knew that Andrew would always try and do something zany Dave would always want to revert back to his experiences in Japan or Shaun would just love to draw something When marking our assignments or commenting on our class work she took time to give us individual feedback using praise intertwined with recommendations often using examples from her own teaching experience The way she gave feedback by not criticising but praising sincerely meant that students were more comfortable making mistakes in an attempt to do something special When it came to thinking about our Action Research projects in the second half of the course being inspired by her example I chose to research the individual needs and learning styles of my students I could not help but notice how many of my classmates were also thinking the same way and wanted to gain a better understanding of their studentsrsquo needs and learning styles

Phil STRIDE PGDE 2014

Indeed the persistence with which activities and discussions were referred back to the scientific principles of education is what distinguished Dr Chanrsquos classes from others I have attended We were constantly encouraged to experiment to be creative and explore diverse ways of considering issues ndash but always grounded in sound academic theory If I had to describe Dr Chanrsquos classes in one sentence it would be lsquoThe perfect blend of science and humanityrsquo

Although Dr Chan was patient and understanding with the struggling trainee teachers ndash while still challenging those more comfortable in an academic environment ndash she was still demanding always inspiring us to try harder and do better Irrespective of how much time I spent on my lesson preparation or how good I thought my classes were Dr Chan always found ways to improve my teaching which I have been able to implement for the benefit of my students

Kevin WORTHINGTON PGDE 2014

All the tasks required us to either work or think about the theory behind It is never the traditional way (Dr Chan talking while us taking notes) Finally I think most of the things that I learned from the lectures are practical because I can use most of them in my own lesson For example the way Dr Chan carry out some of the discussions (getting everyone involved by grouping them randomly and assigning them different roles) How she lead us to come up with ideas instead of giving them to us directly In the end I enjoyed every lesson and I think the students who are taking her lesson will feel the same as well

Throughout the entire two-year course Cheri demonstrated an extremely high level of both professionalism and humanism for a professor From a professional point of view she was very well prepared more so than any other university professor that we encountered throughout our time at university as both undergraduate and postgraduate students and made classes easy to follow and accessible to all through the use of a large range of excellent PowerPoints engaging activities and collaborative tasks Cheri created a fantastic learning environment from which all the participants on the course could benefit Instead of simply preaching good methods as so many professors often do Cheri incorporated those methods into her own course to clearly model and highlight aspects of good teaching practice In particular she clearly modelled the need for teachers to set clear goals and targets for their students and the importance of collaborative input Thanks to modelling such practices in our HKU classes we were able to clearly see how useful such practices were and as a result are now experiencing a greater degree of success in our current teaching positions after implementing them too Furthermore we have been able to pass on the knowledge and skills we acquired to our colleagues and this has had a very beneficial effect on the planning and implementation of the English language programme at our school It is paramount that teacher trainers practise what they preach and mirror good teaching practice in their own teaching a skill at which Cheri excels

Dr Amy CHOW Yin Man

周燕雯博士 Department of Social Work and Social Administration 社會工作及社會行政學系

Professional social work targets the disadvantaged and the needy and has high expectations of the competence level of practitioners We work in an ever-changing social economic and cultural context where new problems are constantly emerging Switching from the frontline social work

profession I hope I can nurture more social workers-to-be to serve the community

Developing professional competence requires empowering and promoting reflexivity in students as lifelong learners to enable them to cope with change As a teacher on this demanding professional degree my goal is to sensitise the empathetic hearts of my students in responding to the suffering of disadvantaged groups ignite their passion to promote change and initiate their knowledge-based and purpose-driven careers Inspired by ldquoHe who has a why to live for can bear almost any howrdquo the famous quote from Nietzsche I believe that cultivating a purpose-driven learning environment is the foundation of good teaching In parallel my teaching is steered by this purpose-driven theme which helps me to overcome different challenges Some of my students are struggling through their earlier difficult experiences induced from family issues poverty or health challenges I am so proud to see the transformation of their suffering to motivation to serve those who are still struggling in adverse life experiences They also act as teachers to other students who have less diversified life experiences More importantly it evidences that people can change and grow through suffering

This purpose-driven teaching philosophy is working for non-social work students too Students taking my common core courses on dying and bereavement as well as mental health shared that they had better understanding on how to support their friends or family members who are facing bereavement or mental health challenges

I do believe that university is a place for students to search for their life meaning and to develop their empathy That is the reason why I stay in the teaching profession

Dr Amy Chow has been an excellent mentor teacher and supervisor As a research postgraduate student under her supervision I have been inspired by her passion for research and teaching Dr Chow is not only knowledgeable in research methodology she teaches us to ask constructive research questions that can benefit the society I have learned more under the supervision of Dr Chow than I have in any class room through her method of experiential learning where we all have hands-on experience with data sets teaching tutorials research and literature review The successful experience in muddling through the process develops our confidence to move on our own studies She respects our interest and tries to inspire us to develop our own focus in the academic world Dr Chow cares about all of her students deeply and she makes sure that we are headed in the right direction both personally and academically It requires time and patience to guide all of us along our path and I feel that Dr Chow sets time aside out of her extremely busy schedule for all of us By following her example I can see that caring for the students is fundamental for the growth of the students I have learned from her to really listen to the students

Monica BORSCHEL PhD current student

I took Dr Amy Chowrsquos elective course lsquoFrontiers in Interventions around Death Dying and Bereavementrsquo last year Dr Chow is undoubtedly a passionate teacher who emphasises on all-round learning experiences Apart from normal teaching and student presentations she has prepared experiential workshop field visits lesson activities and guest lecture It was the most fruitful journey of learning that I have experienced in HKU She is good at enhancing and deepening our learning through innovative way I could still remember how she used TVB drama to illustrate and analyse the grieving reactions of losing spouse It was impressive to me that how theories and teaching could be linked up closely with my daily lives

Amy is not just a scholar but experienced frontline counsellor as well With her expertise in counselling and casework she shared her clinical experience and personal stories to demonstrate how different theories apply to the real case scenario Her teaching enriched my profession and my understanding on knowledge her passion and empathetic attitude towards social work profession have greatly encouraged me to devote in the field of grief and bereavement counselling after graduation I was moved in numerous moments during her lecture She let me know that working with elderly patients and bereaved family could be a great blessing not just towards clients but towards workers as well

Dr Amy Chow is a responsible and humble teacher who really pays effort in teaching Before each lecture she uploaded detailed PowerPoint note or tidy and informative teaching note for students to prepare the lesson As I have taken Dr Chowrsquos course since Year 1 (around three courses until Year 3 Semester 1) I can see her consistent sincerity towards teaching across different nature of courses She is highly impressed as a diligent teacher who includes up-to-date literature and references (which include publication of the recent months) Dr Chow also spent her time to read different literature and references in order to teach some topics that are new to her Following her role model we have no excuses for not reading Her kindness friendly attitude towards students willingness to share her own experience in social work field and her effort made in academic work gained lots of positive comments from different yearrsquos students Her attitude towards teaching and learning is a good model for students to follow

LAM Tsz Ki BSW current student

I consider Dr Amy Chow to be one of the best lecturers at the University of Hong Kong I have known her for more than two years and as far as I have observed Dr Chow has been very passionate towards her teaching and research and also always well prepared for her lecture She is very responsive towards her students not only on the academic area but also other general issues like future planning As a student of Dr Chow I have received lots of valuable feedbacks and advices regarding my study as well as strong encouragement She is very friendly and considerate thus enables students to bring out their maximum potentials and interests under the easy and clear instruction Moreover Dr Chow is also very attentive on her students and never fails to discover our difficulties and limitations on learning Indeed she tries her best to improve the learning environment of her students

Ye Ji PARK BSW current student

Dr Amy Chow is not only a great teacher in class but also an excellent mentor after class Dr Chow engages very well with our learning during the lectures She asks us about our understanding of the content from time to time to make sure we can catch up with her Furthermore she is patient to answer our questions with detailed explanations Not only does she offer assistance to my coursework such as research project she also gives me much advice to my future career Whenever I come across with questions or confusion about the project she does not hesitate to talk to me after class and gives me much assistance Besides Dr Chow is a great mentor regarding my future career She inspires me with the multiple choices or directions to pursue my goal More importantly Dr Chow always encourages me which gives me loads of confidence

Ms Miranda Gillian LEGG

Centre for Applied English Studies 應用英語中心

When my friends and family ask me what I do and I tell them I am an English teacher they usually make some kind of comment about how nice it must be to have such long school holidays When I then explain to them that I donrsquot teach children I teach university students

they assume that I teach English literature After some more clarification they come to understand that what I do is help my students develop their English language skills so that they can become better readers writers and speakers of academic English

Many adults forget what it was like to be a new university student New students struggle to understand what their professors expect of them in terms of their writing and speaking A student might be asked to write an essay and so they write it in the format taught to them at secondary school They are then told that their writing is too lsquosimplisticrsquo or not lsquoacademic enoughrsquo yet that student doesnrsquot understand how to improve A good English teacher understands just this type of struggle They can put themselves in their studentsrsquo shoes

From my experience students can sense when a teacher is really able to understand their needs and they appreciate a passionate attempt to help them develop the skills which they are lacking I believe that this is what good English teaching is about It is about identifying studentsrsquo needs It is about creating practice tasks which develop those missing skills It is about giving multiple rounds of feedback on studentsrsquo work so that they can become more independent learners It is about developing meaningful assessments where students can get feedback on what they have achieved and what they still need to develop In short it is about developing lifelong learning skills

At the end of a course I aim to have given each of my students a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses And if I have done my job well they will have a better idea of what their next professor wants when he she asks them to write an essay

I met Ms Miranda Legg in the Core University English course offered by the Centre for Applied English Studies in my first semester as a student at HKU Her lessons have always been inspiring and innovative since she incorporates various interactive teaching methods such as debates role playing and individual consultation into her classes During my semester with her my confidence in using English has been greatly enhanced

Although students had a diverse background of English she managed to cater for the differences in their needs In class Ms Legg guided weaker students by asking them leading questions whilst for more advanced learners she would look for more in-depth and critical responses Regardless of whatever means she utilised she has succeeded in finding the equilibrium of teaching between the more and less able students

Apart from class she is also a good life companion Ms Legg is open-hearted to listen to all sorts of experiences of students ndash be it joyous or challenging As a first-year student I sometimes found it perplexing to plan and balance my university life She gave me most constructive advice every time I approached her Albeit very busy with her teaching and managerial work she selflessly advised me on things unrelated to the course Not only is Ms Legg a language teacher but also a life teacher

Enoch WONG Chi Lok BA current student

Ms Miranda Legg is a charismatic charming and engaging instructor who goes above and beyond in the interests of her students and their education I met her first in the course lsquoProfessional and Technical Communication for Medical Engineering Studentsrsquo and from the first class I was hooked That I actively looked forward to her class is a testament to Mirandarsquos ability to interest excite and educate her pupils even through some of the most droll of topics eg Complicated Technical Medical Terms Her ability to engage the class in active discussion the confident charisma she exudes whilst teaching has made me see her as the ideal role model many instructors should aspire to I hope that in the near future she might start teaching the course lsquoProfessional and Technical Communication for Teachersrsquo for the benefit of students everywhere

Ms Miranda Legg was the instructor of CAES9920 in my Year 2 study I believe what Ms Legg offered me extended beyond what the course was originally designed for She is well-prepared and detail-oriented in delivering the course knowledge She is helpful and patient and whenever we have questions we can get timely support during one-on-one consultation in class during office hours or via email In addition to course materials she also shares with us the techniques she uses in her postgraduate research and thesis which still influence my essay writing now She thinks highly of each individualrsquos participation in the course and is open to dialogue on anything we feel One thing in particular that I remember is my class even had a discussion where we voiced out our concerns and doubts towards the essay grading criterion She took our negative reflections seriously and walked us through things we had misinterpreted with great patience Ms Legg is a kind incredibly friendly and inspiring teacher The course has become a fruitful memory of my university life and I am always grateful to have had her as my teacher

PANG Bin BEconampFin current student

Ms Miranda Legg was my teacher last semester She is an ordinary teacher who is good at guiding listening and caring This means everything to a new university student Even though I am not in her class now I still remember the afternoons when we stayed behind in the classroom to discuss everything from politics to economics from humanity to globalisation from science to literature For example I still remember the day we finished a spoken discussion about different forms of government (eg communist capitalist monarchy) and I asked her if she thought there was a superior regime She said that she thought that all regimes do not purely consist of one single political doctrine They are a mixture and integration of multiple doctrines It is up to us to judge whether a kind of regime is bad or not

Every time I meet her on the street she always greets me sincerely with a warm smile just like the first time I entered the classroom with unease and worry On that first day she just said ldquoCome in how are yourdquo and greeted us with a warm smile She always smiled at me greeted me and inspired me Thank you Ms Miranda thank you my teacher my friend my guider You have given me a wonderful introduction to English as well as lifelong study

A Message from the President and Vice-Chancellor

Over my first year at HKU I have seen first-hand the hard work dedication and inspiration brought to our University by its members I am therefore delighted to be part of the annual awards ceremony where we celebrate outstanding work in teaching research and knowledge exchange

Undergraduate education at HKU has undergone fundamental changes in the last few years with the switch to four-year degrees and important curriculum reforms Our teachers have played a key role in ensuring the success of these developments We now have room to focus on our goal of not just educating students but cultivating local regional and global leaders We are also seeking to enhance our studentsrsquo learning experience through encouraging diversity both in the campus community and through opportunities for learning beyond the University and Hong Kong

HKU researchers continue to demonstrate excellence We consistently secure the highest allocation in the Research Grants Councilrsquos annual funding exercise and we lead more Theme-based Research Scheme and Areas of Excellence projects than any other institution Our Strategic Research Themes initiative now in its third cycle helps nurture interdisciplinary research In the recent Research Assessment Exercise 2014 over half of the research of our eligible staff was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent and these encouraging results can feed into our strategic planning

Knowledge exchange is an important way of achieving societal impact beyond academia The role of universities in bringing social economic environmental and cultural benefits to the community has seen increasing focus worldwide and at HKU emphasis is being placed on maximising the impact of our research through knowledge exchange as well as communicating and evaluating such impacts The number and quality of our knowledge exchange projects continue to grow with some outstanding examples being recognised through todayrsquos awards

My warmest congratulations go to all of our award winners Just as their success draws on the invaluable support from their colleagues students family and friends so does the University rsquos success depend on the contr ibutions of i ts members Working together we can further build on our excellent achievements and take HKU forward to the next stages of our development

Professor Peter Mathieson President and Vice-Chancellor March 2015
